PLATINODE Platinized Titanium Anodes
Customized electrode production with pure platinum
PLATINODE describes the refractory metals, such as titanium and niobium, coated with purest platinum. The electrocatalytic functional layers of platinum or various precious metal oxides are used throughout virtually the entire electrochemical industry. The platinum coating is applied by means of high-temperature electrolysis (HTE). The platinum is deposited from a cyanide molten salt bath at temperatures of 500 to 600 °C. The functional platinum layer thus produced, shows excellent adhesion in addition to high ductility and maximum purity. It is possible to produce layers with high platinum thickness, maximum corrosion resistance and excellent service life. Refractory metals such as titanium, niobium, tantalum, molybdenum and tungsten are usually used as the substrate in the production of PLATINODE. However, various special steelalloys and iron/nickel alloys are also used. Expanded metals, sheet metals, round stock, tubes, rods, ribbons and wires of the most varied materials and dimensions are available. The base metals meet the specifications of DIN and ASTM.

MC 16
A compact casting system for small studios, with which high-quality casts can be made economically.
Suitable for all metals The 3.5 kW induction heating means that the material melts extremely rapidly in an atmosphere without oxidation. All metals – also platinum and steel – can be cast without difficulty. The crucibles are large enough to solve any standard casting task one would find in a studio or atelier with no difficulty at all. The flasks can also accommodate larger or heavier jewellery parts. It is equally possible to melt and cast minimal amounts of metal. The entire process is extremely fast, especially if the goldsmith uses so-called speed investment compounds. This enables rapid response to new models, fulfillment of express orders and the implementation of last-minute ideas, for example before a trade fair. Rapid and simple casting The whole process of casting can be carried out simply, quickly and safely without any real prior technical knowledge of casting. In the investment machine the gipsum gets mixed under vacuum – correctly dosed and air bubble free. The flask with the wax model gets filled under vacuum, too. Vibration during filling eliminates air inclusions. The wax is molten off in the furnace and the mould is burnt out. MC 16, the new MC series basic model • NEW: Run of process with controller • NEW: LCD-display with all program data (20 programs) • For graphite and for ceramic crucibles, temperature up to 2000° C • Very easy to use, short training period • Perfectly suited for small castings and small series • 3.5 KW induction generator for fast heating • Even for the casting of steel and platinum After pouring, the MC series automatically switch to overpressure in order to optimise the mould filling even for delicate parts. Alternatively it is also possible to keep the vacuum.

MC 100 V
Award-winning vibration technology – unique in its class
The high demand for our MC 15+ and VTC 200 V high-temperature tilting casting machines motivated us to develop the MC 100 V: a number of users wanted the compactness of the MC 15+, but needed greater capacity – not so much, however, as the VTC 200 V offers. We have filled this gap with the new MC 100 V, by developing a small, hi-tech machine that combines the best of both models: it builds on the space- saving design and ingenious pivoting mechanism of the small MC 15+, while offering a wide range of the highlights from the much larger VTC machine. Latest generation generators The MC 100 V is equipped with a latest generation induction generator, developed especially for this housing design and with high operating efficiency. Convenient, high precision control is provided via a new opera- ting system, with an LCD display, full text display and program control. Award-winning vibration technology – unique in its class For the first time, our multi-award winning and patent-pending vibration system is now available in a compact casting machine. Using vibration when casting ensures better form filling, creating casts with greater, more consistent densities, higher elasticity and greatly reduced porosity. Vibration technology is a compelling alternative to the frequently used and relatively delicate centrifugal systems, especially when casting platinum or palladium.

GU 3000
Granulating Systems
For the production of granules we can offer you two different systems. If you want to produce granules only occasionally, the additional equipment of a vacuum pressure (VC) or a vacuum-continuous casting machine (V-CC) with a granulating tank is a good alternative. For a frequent or permanent production of granules our GU series granulating machines will be the first choice. These machines are developed especially for granulating of metal bullions into proper grains. They are used with a separate removable granulation tank (no tank integrated) and are available with crucible sizes from 170 ccm up to 12000 ccm. The major applications are : – Preparation of alloys out of gold and master alloy… – Preparation of alloy components… – Preparation of alloys from components… – Cleaning up of already casted metal… …under inert gas atmosphere or under vacuum

CC 400 / VCC 400
The Continuous Casting Machines – the only ones with vacuum and/or quattro drive
More flexibility, lower costs Indutherm continuous casting machines help you to save production costs. With only one machine, you can produce your own alloys or semi-finished products in different shapes and sizes in the shortest time, for example: – wires or bars in every diameter you need, up to ø 90 mm (V-CC3000) – sheets and strips, e.g. ring production, for stamping and pressing – tubes, perfect as basic material for cutting in sections for wedding ring production – granulates As the desired parts and alloys can be produced within minutes, you can reduce your investment for material in storage. Your processes will get faster, more flexible and more efficient. With optionally available equipment as for example sintering set for diffusion bonding and granulation tank the versatility of these machines may be enhanced even more.
